Bacteria and Protist
An overview of Bacteria and Protists
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Archaea that lives in extreme conditions, such as high heat or acidity. | Extremeophile |
| Rod shaped cell body | bacilli |
| Round shaped cell body | cocci |
| Helix shaped cell body | spirilium |
| Long chain of cells | strepto |
| clusters and clumps of cells | staphlo |
| pairs of two cells | diplo |
| forms colonies of bacteria, autotrophic. | Cyanobacteria (Anabaena) |
| often on the terminal end of Cyanobacteria chains, thicker wall. | heterocyst |
| purple stain color | gram positive |
| red stain color | gram negative |
| gram positive bacteria have this in their cell wall, trapping the violet dye. | peptidoglycan |
| eukaryotic unicellular organism | protists |
| prokaryotic unicelluar organism | bacteria |
| Not a formal linnean taxonomic classification, common type of protist | algae |
| causes red tides, two arms/horns. Move in whirling motion due to dissimilar flagella. mixotrophs | Dinoflagellates (Ceratium) |
| Able to switch from autotrophy to heterotrophy. | mixotrophy |
| Common protist diatom, have silicon dioxide cell walls. | Bacillariophyta |
| Green algae with chlorophyll, colonial, can be part of lichens | Chlorophyta (Volvox) |
| Uses conjugation to reproduce | Spirogyra |
| two tubes that form together to send genetic material | conjugation tube |
| gametes that are virtually identical. | isogametes |
| multicellular protists, autotrophic | Phaeophyta (Laminaria) |
| animal like unicellular organisms | protozoa |
| Phylum that are small, eyespot, mixotroph. | Euglenoids (Euglena) |
| fancy name for eye spot | stigma |
| another name for Amoeba | Rhizopoda |
| more than one flagella, protozoa | Kinetoplastida (Trypanosoma) |
| phylum that can penetrate host cells, no means of locomotion, is malaria | Apicomplexa (Plasmodium) |
| phylum that moves by ciliary action | Ciliata (Paramecium) |
